My life as a seller of vintage and retro everything and the inspirational joys I find in particularly Australian nature in and around my home on the outskirts of Sydney.

BEFORE AND AFTER RENO PHOTOS-MRA&DCentre

MITCHELL ROAD GETS A FEW NEW ROOMS

These 3 rooms have been hidden from public view in the past--they were "storage" rooms--well actually lotsajunk rooms! So just recently upon new ownership it was decided that some clearing out was needed to make more room for more great offerings to the public. So Colin, Ben, Emma, Nick, Lyn, Brett and myself spent a few late nights working towards this. Besides days of clearing out good and bad junk, walls, doors and lino floors were taken out, ceilings repaired and the change room moved. Result is a large very rustic space for a new seller. Nick (another one!--we have 3) sells varied retro and rustic pieces at very good prices.

The stairwell is also in the process of getting a new paint job--black, red and white to match the foyer. Lots of cutting in and only volunteer labour after the hours of 5pm makes it a little slow but the end result is starting to show. The stair risers still need red paint and the higher parts need the famous Fil to complete those out of reach places.

About Me

Hi.
I am passionate about recycling--making the most of what we already have spent time, money and energy making.
Selling vintage and retro collectibles, decor items, fashion and textiles is how I make my living.

I do believe the slump in new retail sales is just the beginning of the People's conscience giving them a new personal energy, sensuality and release of creativity they never had before.
Australian birds, animals and plants are my other love. I hope that all citizens of the world value their own country's nature unconditionally, as once it's gone we cannot bring it back.
